Boycotting the imperialists' burgers, sugary drinks, or coffee—or even all of them—is indeed a stand, but it won’t hurt them much. I'm not saying we shouldn't boycott, of course. It's important to take a stand, even if it's like an ant trying to reach the Kaaba. We should do it. However, if we truly want to achieve a comprehensive victory against those who aim to end Islam, divide our lands, and perpetuate oppression, even nuclear weapons wouldn’t suffice. What would suffice, you ask? Neutralizing
Boycotting the imperialists' burgers, sugary drinks, or coffee—or even all of them—is indeed a stand, but it won’t hurt them much. I'm not saying we shouldn't boycott, of course. It's important to take a stand, even if it's like an ant trying to reach the Kaaba. We should do it.
However, if we truly want to achieve a comprehensive victory against those who aim to end Islam, divide our lands, and perpetuate oppression, even nuclear weapons wouldn’t suffice. What would suffice, you ask? Neutralizing the Petro-Dollar.
The dollar is the heart of oppression. Striking a blow against the dollar would cause the entire system to collapse and rot from within. The oppression we see today is fueled by the hegemony of the dollar, which provides limitless purchasing power, endless R&D investment, and boundless education budgets. They’re buying the world with a piece of paper.
And who is giving them this power? We are. Let me be clear, I’m not saying you should exchange your dollars for TL. But even holding euros instead of dollars could weaken the pillars of the oppressive state.
If only the people of the East could do this, we would witness a systemic collapse and renewal without the need for missiles or guns. That’s why Türkiye should support BRICS, even if it doesn’t join. And that’s why positive dialogues with Russia and China should be maintained.
Election time is approaching! We might witness the breaking point of Western hegemony, or we could enter a bloody process with fronts opening from Dedeağaç and northern Syria, leading to the creation of a so-called Kurdish state that ultimately serves Zionism.
For readers less familiar with the topic, let’s briefly explain.
What is the greatest scam in history? The Petro-Dollar relationship is a scheme designed to fill the void left by the Bretton Woods system, which I call “the greatest scam in history,” when the “gold for dollars” system was abandoned after the U.S. had hoarded all the gold.
In the early 1970s, the economic strain on the U.S., caused by increased competition from countries like Europe and Japan and the costs of the Vietnam War, began to shake the existing economic order. Up until then, the U.S. had promised that every dollar was backed by gold, but in 1971, President Nixon declared that this promise was over, leaving those who trusted the American Dollar, now just a piece of paper, out in the cold.
The world is working for a piece of paper... It was during this time that Nixon’s Treasury Secretary, John Connally, famously said, “The dollar is our currency, but your problem.”
The U.S. wanted to continue acquiring the world’s production and wealth in exchange for a piece of paper. To achieve this, they made a secret deal with Saudi Arabia right after 1971. The deal ensured that oil would be sold in U.S. dollars, in exchange for protecting the Saudi royal family. This was the system built to maintain the dominance of the U.S. Dollar, replacing the Bretton Woods system.
The circulation of dollars accumulated by oil producers works like this: Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries deposit their oil revenues in U.S. and British banks, and then these funds are loaned out as Eurodollar bonds or credits through those same banks to cover the rising oil bills for the rest of the world.
The first serious attempt to break the Petro-Dollar cycle was made by Saddam Hussein on November 6, 2000, when he announced that Iraq would start accepting euros for oil payments. This marked the beginning of the end for him. Though we can't know for sure, it’s highly likely that Gaddafi’s brutal murder was also linked to his challenge to the Petro-Dollar system.
May God rest his soul; the honorable man who had the courage to impose an oil embargo on the West, Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, was martyred in a March 26, 1975 assassination. The turmoil in Venezuela also stems from their desire to stop exporting oil in U.S. dollars.
Would the process end if the agreement ended? There’s no declared agreement; if there were, it would be between states, and we wouldn’t know about it. But there doesn’t need to be one. The system of exchanging protection for oil is clear.
This issue cannot be left solely to heads of state. It’s about combining our individual wills into a greater collective will. I’m not asking for the impossible or the impractical in the short term (like using TL, Yuan, or Ruble). We can price our exports in euros, request euro offers when importing goods, and hold euros instead of dollars for trade or savings. If only the Muslim Ummah refrains from using dollars, it would be enough to bring down this system. The rest would unravel like a thread.
Don’t say that the dollar and euro are brothers. Money disrupts the balance and relationships even among brothers...
